Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon renew vows at Disneyland

ANAHEIM – Pop singer Mariah Carey got dolled up in a princess-style dress in the Disneyland Dream Suite, and a carriage took her down Main Street, U.S.A. to meet up with entertainer-husband Nick Cannon for an after-hours renewal of their vows in the theme park.

Disney officials said no attractions were affected during regular park hours by the private event, which was held after Disneyland closed Tuesday night.

About two hours before the park closed, crews blocked off an area in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle to prepare for the area where the vows would play out, said George Savvas, a Disneyland Resort spokesman.

Before the fifth-anniversary ceremony, the couple's twins celebrated their second birthday in a party at Fantasy Faire, a princess greeting area near the castle, reported TV's "Entertainment Tonight," which was invited to the event. Daughter Monroe and son Moroccan dressed up like princess and prince, similar to their parents.

Disney officials declined to release the cost of the event.

But private Disneyland parties can be expensive: The starting price for an after-hours wedding at the park is $135,000, said a customer-service representative on the Disney Meetings phone line.

Savvas did say that prices can vary greatly depending on an event's size and scope.

On Twitter, Carey reported on the details and released photos and videos. But she caused confusion among some Disney fans on whether the park was closed early for the event. It wasn't.

"On our way to renew our vows. I love you @NickCannon shut down Disneyland KKLB," Carey wrote on the official @MariahCarey Twitter account.

Videos and photos show Carey and daughter Monroe getting fixed up inside the Disneyland Dream Suite, a private apartment above the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, as well as Carey in the carriage along Main Street.

An after-party, with Cannon serving as D.J., was held in Fantasyland where some attractions were up and running for the guests.
